Problem 1
Grading: 2 points for the correct use of the superposition property. 1 point for the correct conclusion.
b) Let x4 [n] := x1 [n + n0 ], then
y4 [n] = 2x4 [n] x4 [n 3]
= 2x1 [n + n0 ] x1 [n + n0 3]
= y1 [n + n0 ].
Therefore, a time-shift by any integer n0 of the input corresponds to a
time-shift n0 in the output, i.e. the system is time-invariant.
Grading: 2 points for approach. 1 point for correct conclusion.

Your Answer:
Problem 2
Solution 2
1) The correct answer is (d) (2 points).
Notice that:
Twelve samples occur per period of the sinusoid
The frequency of the sinusoid sin(2(3)t) is 3 Hz, therefore three periods per second
Three periods per second twelve samples per period = 36 samples
per second
Sampling frequency of 36 Hz corresponds to a sampling time of 1/36
seconds. Thus (d) is the answer.

4) The correct answer is (d) (2 points). Manual calculation of the convolution proves this.
Intuitively, the first impulse from x[n] occurs at time n = 1, meaning the
first impulse response occurs at time n = 2 (due to the 1-sample delay in
h[n]). This discounts options (a) and (c), which both show response at
time n = 1.
Referring to the convolution definition:
x[n] h[n] =
k=
x[n k]h[k]
We see that when x[n] overlaps h[n] (eg. for n = 3), x[n] h[n] = 2. This
discounts option (b), leaving option (d) as the correct answer.

Solution 3
a) The poles of the system are defined as the roots of the denominator,
thus
!
(z + 0.75)(z 0.25) = 0
z1 = 0.75
z2 = 0.25.
Grading: 1 point for every correct pole.
b) A causal LTI system is stable if and only if all its poles zi are inside the
unit circle, i.e. |zi | < 1, for all poles i. Both poles lie inside the unit circle.
The system is therefore BIBO stable.
Grading: 1 point for the stability condition. 1 point for correct
conclusion.
c) The region of convergence of a causal LTI system extends outward from
the largest magnitude pole. The ROC of the system described by H1 (z) is
shown in Figure 3. The region is
R1 = {z | |z| > 0.75}.

Solution 4
a) The sampled sinusoid has a period of N0 = 5.
Intuitively, we use the definition of periodicity and calculate this as:
x[n] = x[n + N ]
sin(2nTs ) = sin(2(n + N )Ts )
= sin(2nTs + 2N Ts )
Which implies that N Ts Z. Given that N N and Ts > 0, we can
constrain this further to N Ts N. The fundamental period N0 is the
smallest positive integer N such that this condition holds.
We have that Ts = 1/5, thus N/5 N and it follows that N0 = 5, which is
the fundamental period of the discrete-time sequence.
An alternative (more rigorous) approach is presented in the book: Equation 1.54 and 1.55, and Problem 1.11.
Grading: 1 point for correct answer (N0 = 5)
b) As per the above, the condition for periodicity of the sampled sequence
x[n] is that N Ts N.
